Chapter 651

"Squeak..."

The door of the imperial study room opened.

Luo Qingzhou, dressed in a Confucian robe, walked in with his head down and a respectful look on his face.

The door behind him was immediately closed.

Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Luo Qingzhou, pay my respects to His Majesty!"

Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Luo Qing is busy studying, and I shouldn't disturb you, but I really have something to do today, so I summoned you to the palace."

Then he looked at Qin Lang next to him and said, "Luo Qing, don't you want to say hello to your elder brother?"

Luo Qingzhou raised his head and met Qin Lang's eyes, and immediately bowed and said, "Brother."

Qin Lang nodded slightly and said seriously, "Qingzhou, when His Majesty asks you a question today, you must tell the truth, and you must not have any Hiding, do you know?" Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Qingzhou knows." Nangong Yang smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I appointed your elder brother as the commander of the Jinyiwei because I wanted him to investigate a few cases and make some achievements. Then I can reward him. Recently, many major cases have occurred in Kyoto. The whole family of Zhongwu Bo's Mansion was killed. My former commander Luo Changtian was also killed, and dozens of Jinyiwei were killed. Your elder brother tracked down the murderer and found that the man named Chu Feiyang was very suspicious. I heard that you know him. Can you help me? Can your elder brother provide some clues? "

Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I do know Chu Feiyang, but I am not familiar with him. We have only met a few times. The elder brother once went back to ask us, and we told him everything we knew. I heard that Chu Feiyang is now in the Lingxiao Sect. I think the elder brother should take people to the Lingxiao Sect to ask for him. After bringing him back for interrogation, we will naturally know whether he is the murderer."

Qin Lang frowned and said: "I took people there some time ago, but we didn't even get through the gate. There is a formation inside, and There are many masters, we can't force our way in. And I heard that Chu Feiyang is a direct disciple of Lingxiao Sect, so they will naturally not let us take him away. "

Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said in surprise: "Brother, you are the commander of Jinyiwei, you represent the emperor and the court, how dare Lingxiao Sect not hand over people?"

Qin Lang said solemnly: "Qingzhou, you are a scholar, you don't know about the sects. Lingxiao Sect is not an ordinary small sect, it is one of the five major sects of my Great Yan, at the beginning..."

At this point, he looked at the emperor and stopped talking.

Nangong Yang sneered, "Lingxiao Sect is indeed not a small sect. Even our court has to be wary of it. Moreover, the five major sects signed a contract with the court, and many rules cannot be broken now. However... Qin Lang, as long as you can find evidence, I will order you to arrest people." Qin Lang bowed his head and said, "I will continue to investigate and will never let your majesty down." Nangong Yang's eyes flashed, and he sighed, "These five major sects are indeed a bit tricky." Luo Qingzhou immediately bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that all under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects. Even if the five No matter how powerful a big sect is, it is still our Great Yan sect. The people in the sect are all our Great Yan people, and naturally they are under the control of Your Majesty. In my opinion, we can no longer let this sect run wild. Either find a way to recruit them for the court, or... let them collapse! We must never let them confront the court and become a threat to the court! "

After these words came out, Nangong Yang's eyes lit up and murmured: "The whole world is the king's land, and the people of the world are the king's subjects..."

Then he praised: "Luo Qing, you said it well, well said!"

Then he asked: "Luo Qing, how do you think we can recruit them for our own use? ? The five major sects are closely related. If the imperial court pushes them too far, they will even unite to fight against the imperial court. By then, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit firmly on the throne. "

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since the five major sects are powerful, we naturally cannot use force, nor can we do this matter openly. We can promise benefits in private and defeat them one by one. Your Majesty should send people to understand the leaders of each sect to see what they need, or directly win over some of their elite disciples and let them secretly become people of the imperial court. In this way, they can slowly disintegrate."

Nangong Yang heard this and immediately He stood up from the chair, and hurried over to pull his wrist and said: "Lord Luo, come, sit down and talk."

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "I dare not, I will stand."

Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Lord Luo, don't be polite, you are my right-hand man, and you are also the one appointed by the Queen Mother to accompany me to study, come, come, sit down and talk."

Then he waved his hand and said: "Qin Lang, you should leave first. Don't provoke the Lingxiao Sect for the time being, I will make plans after the New Year."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Lang bowed and left. When he went out, he looked at the young man whose wrist was being held affectionately by His Majesty with a complicated look.

"Squeak..."

The door closed.

Qin Lang left the palace and stopped under the shadow of a big tree outside, looking at the night sky, motionless.

"Lord Luo, the five major sects are powerful and have many warriors. If they can be used by the court, my Great Yan will become even more powerful, and the surrounding neighboring countries will all submit. Lord Luo will definitely help me."

"Your Majesty, after listening to your analysis of the situation of the five major sects, I think we can start directly with Lingxiao Sect."

"Oh, why?"

"The leaders of Huashan Sect and Xianyun Pavilion are both scheming and far away from Kyoto, so they can ignore it for the time being. As for Qingyun Temple and Jinchan Temple, these two sects rarely participate in secular affairs and have no regard for the imperial court. Any threats can be made last. As for the Lingxiao Sect, it is close to the capital and the person in power is very young. It just so happens that their direct disciple Chu Feiyang may be the murderer. We can use this matter first to show our kindness... …”

"What if the other party doesn't appreciate it?"

"If the other party doesn't appreciate it, you can secretly win over its elite disciples and elders. The imperial court has so many cultivation resources, and they are all warriors. Naturally, there will be some disciples and elders willing to be loyal to the imperial court..."

In the royal study, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the chat continued late into the night.

Until Changsun Wan'er's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, you have to attend court early tomorrow. The Queen Mother knows that Your Majesty has not rested so late, so she asked your servant to come over and urge you."

Nangong Yang reluctantly stood up and said, "After listening to Luo Qing's words, I suddenly felt relaxed and my whole body felt comfortable. It's getting late. I have to go to court tomorrow. Luo Qing, please go back quickly."

Then he said to the outside: "Li Gui, take Luo Qing home."

At this time, the gates of the palace and the inner city were closed, and no one could enter or leave without the emperor's order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Gui's respectful voice came from outside.

Then the door opened.

Luo Qingzhou walked out and saw the elegant and gentle eldest grandson Waner in a palace dress outside the door.

The eldest grandson, Wan'er, lowered her head slightly and saluted, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, for interrupting your chat with His Majesty. It's just that it was too late, and the Queen Mother was worried about His Majesty's dragon body, so she asked Wan'er to come over to urge you."

Nangong Yang said with a smile in the study: "Sister Wan'er, you are tired. You should go back quickly. I will go to bed soon."

Changsun Wan'er suddenly said: "Your Majesty, at this time, the palace gate and the city gate have been closed. It is really troublesome to go out, so let Mr. Luo leave the palace tomorrow. I just saw that Commander Qin Lang is still outside. Waiting, maybe I want to take Young Master Luo to the Jinyi Guardhouse to rest."

Hearing this, Nangong Yang said: "Okay, Luo Qing, you should go to your elder brother's place to rest tonight, just in time to talk to him."

Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to refuse, Changsun Wan'er suddenly approached him, touched his sleeves with her fingers a few times, and said softly: "Master Luo, let's go. Wan'er has recently written some new poems and wants to ask for your advice." one time."

Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he followed her out without saying a word.

Li Gui arrived at the gate outside, stopped, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.

"Qingzhou!"

Under the big tree not far away, Qin Lang walked out of the shadows.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother."

Qin Lang glanced at the eldest grandson Wan'er behind him, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Wan'er."

The eldest grandson Wan'er said: "Master Qin, Wan'er has a few poems that she would like to ask Mr. Luo for advice. Can you lend Mr. Luo to Wan'er for a moment first?"

Qin Lang was slightly startled and said, "Qingzhou, go ahead. Brother is waiting for you here."

"Thank you, Master Qin."

Changsun Wan'er thanked her and said softly: "Master Luo, let's go to the lotus pond over there."

Luo Qingzhou nodded and followed her.

Changsun Wan'er held a lantern and led the way through a passage to a lotus pond.

Not far away, there were guards guarding the place.

But beside the lotus pond, it was silent and there was no one else.

Changsun Wan'er glanced around and whispered: "Mr. Luo, I will go to the Jinyi Guardhouse with Master Qin later. Remember to choose the room next to the corridor on the right to rest. If you want to sleep alone, you must remember .

Luo Qingzhou looked at her doubtfully.

Changsun Wan'er approached him and whispered: "Someone will replace you tonight, and someone will take you out. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants to see you."

Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed, he looked at her deeply and nodded.

Changsun Wan'er smiled and said, "Princess Meijiao was worried about you and brought news to the eldest princess, so the eldest princess knew that you had entered the palace."

Luo Qingzhou hesitated and asked, "Miss Wan'er, you..."

Changsun Wan'er said softly: "His Highness and I grew up together, and we have been His Highness's people since we were young."

Then he whispered again: "Wan'er is willing to do anything for His Highness."

Luo Qingzhou didn't ask any more questions, raised his head and looked ahead.

At this time, a group of patrol soldiers came over.

The eldest grandson Wan'er said: "Master Luo, let's go. If there is a chance in the future, Wan'er will ask you for advice on poetry."

Then he smiled and said: "The Taikang Festival will be held in a few days. The young master will definitely be invited to the palace. Wan'er will definitely not let the young master go by then."

The two of them walked back while talking.

The patrolling soldiers glanced at them and left quickly.
